(14,174 posts)We have to make the party something bold and innovative, not afraid to push for a $15 min. wage, or free tuition, or maternity leave, or even....gasp....single payer healthcare. The problem has been too many times this turd way approach where top Dems perpetually capitulated on important issues in order to seek a "third way". Which was always turned into the Republican way or nothing once they figured out Dems weak strategy.
If young people actually had something to vote for, bold initiatives that are noticeably different than Republicans, we could win big. The "moderate" traditional Republican voter is NOT going to switch over in any significant numbers. They are conditioned now to never vote Democrat no matter who is the Republican choice. So why does the establishment of the Democratic party insist on trusting Rs holding the football ie. Charlie Brown, again and again? Focus on new voters.
